JAMES SHAY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JOHN Q. JAYNES, OF HAMILTON, OHI 0 Letters Patent No. 105,133, dated July 5, 1870-.

I, JAMESSHAY, of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vapor-Lamp Burners, of which the following is a specification.

Nature and Object of the Invention. The nature of my invention consists in an improved method of constructing burners for vapor-lamps, so

arranged above the vapor-jet as to conduct the vapor through an open mouth conduit to the flame-jet, and to admit 'of a free supply of oxygen to mingle with the vapor before it reaches the flame-jet, the object of which is to give a purer, clearer, and steadier light, with less noise and more economy of fluid than any other known burner.

Dcscriptie'ri of the Accompanying Drawing.

Figure 1 is aperspective view of the burner embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical central section of fig. 1.

General Description.

A is the body of the burner, which may be made of any kind of metal which is a good conductor of heat. I

In the lower end of A there is a chamber for the reception and passage of vapor from the fluid-pipe, E, to the jet, b, of nipple, B.

B is a nipple, with vapor-jet, b, screwed into the body of the burner A, having a vapor passage from 7) connecting with the vapor-chamber in A, or it may be formed by any extension of A, and in one piece with it.

A is a conduit, with its lower mouth open, and sufficiently extended to cover the flame-jet b, and to receive a free supply of oxygen to permeate the vapor on its passage to the flame-jet 0.

The front of A may be brought down till it comes in contact with the nipple B, or the whole may be made in one piece, if suflicient openings are provided for the admission of air. V

G is the flame-jet, to which the vapor is conducted by the conduit A, and maybe made to give any shaped blaze desired.-

c c are enlarged lips, on either side of the flamejet 0 designed to increase and retain the heat necessary in generating gas.

c c are perforations or small flame-jets under the lips c c, by means of which very small jets of flame are kept'burning-to assist in creating heat.

D is a bowl, for the reception of liquid to be'burned in lighting the lamp, which may be supplied from the jet 7) by moving the regulating valve in the liquid pipe.

E is a broken section of the liquid pipe.

Experiments with the burner which I have described demonstrate that the flame obtained by it is purer and steadier than that from any other known device for a similar purpose. It also has another very important advantage in this, that there is no perceptible noise or offensive odor from it.

Claims.

1. A vapor-burner, having an open-mouthed conduit, A, with enlarged lips c c, and lateral flame-jets or perforations c a under the lips, substantially as set forth herein.

2. A vapor-burner, having a flame-jet, 0,. with enlarged lips c c, and perforations or small lateral flamejets c c, in combination with the nipple B, arranged on the liquid-pipe E, substantially as herein set forth.

3. In combination with the above, the bowl D, constructed and arranged substantially as herein set forth.
